Trying times for sure. I really hope you get well soon mate.
Everything is crazy at the moment. POTUS has Covid. Iā€™ve just been told my job is at risk. Iā€™m not confident because business is so slow. This is going to be a terrible Xmas for many, many people. Furlough just delayed the inevitable; mass unemployment coming. :frowning:

See the main thread! Everyone has got a total of 100xp to spend.

I believe I still have 15 xp left from the last time we won some.

I have a few questions! Apologies, because Iā€™m pretty sure you already answered them before :grimacing: !

I think Iā€™m ready to move to my second tier on my carreer path : I have 5 advance in the three Characteristics of the hexer, and 5 advances in every skills of it also. Do I still have something to do? Should I hunt the trappings of the witch before moving up?

It costs 100xp to move to the next tier of a career. I do recall that Meinrad is ready to do that if you so wish. Iā€™ll have to check on trappings. I remember previous editions of WFRP demanding characters have the appropriate trappings before they can advance, but I think that has been done away with in the current edition.

It says that trappings are a guide

Yeah, although think that a character should ā€˜acquireā€™ a few of them somehow, especially if you want to practice their career. Thereā€™s also some obvious links - Meinrad wonā€™t be able to do any Trade (Herbalist) without the associated Trade Tools. But I donā€™t like it being a barrier to entering the Tier, more a list of items they should slowly start to gather.

Agreed. If it helps, i think you canā€™t spend any XP on developing the career until youve at least made a stab at the trappings. Hard to make a hard and fast rule tho

Thank you both for the info. I think I have an idea to get some of them so that I can move up, but Iā€™ll post in the main play thread.

Iā€™m going to take the Strike to Stun talent from Watchmen career. I like the idea of being able to Stun people so I can torture them later if needed!

Although it says I can treat improvised weapons as having the Pummel quality. To me, that kind of implies any blunt instrument - for example, a Watchmanā€™s baton?

I think a Watchmanā€™s baton probably fits as an improvised weapon for this game, but I might not stretch the definition to every blunt instrument; case by case is probably best. Thereā€™s a potnetial can of worms about when does a ā€˜blunt instrumentā€™ become a club in all but name (and thus a one-handed weapon).

But otherwise, happy with what youā€™ve written.

@scribbs Iā€™m not sure if I had any xp left over from last time. I canā€™t remember what advances I may have taken! Any chance you took notes bud?
